I'm not the only weirdo out here.

This fellow is driving this little 50's vintage Austin from his former home in Alaska to a new start in New York.  Pleasant whack job.  He goes uphill about as fast as I do.

This was a relatively peaceful moment at this particular gas station.  Inside behind a desk sat a gentleman who gave me directions to the grocery and library.  I assumed he was the owner until he got up and climbed into a semi outside.  When I realized my mistake apologized for holding him up.  He just laughed and said:  "It's my wife's place.  She runs it.  She keeps me on the road driving.  Not such a bad thing."

I camped about a block from here and all evening long I could hear a female voice launching f-bombs at kids that weren't doing what the voice wanted them to be doing.  I imagined the semi driver smiling as he made his way peacefully to Topeka.
